WARNING!
Never use a Meade ® LT Series

Looking at or near the Sun will cause
instant and irreversible damage to your

so there is no warning to the observer
that damage has occurred until it is
too late. Do not point the telescope at
or near the Sun. Do not look through
the telescope or Red Dot Finder as
it is moving. Children should always
have adult supervision while observing.
